Pant Nears Sixes Record, Key to India’s Success

News summary

Rishabh Pant, now India's Test vice-captain, is on the verge of surpassing Virender Sehwag's record for most sixes by an Indian in Tests, needing just five more. His aggressive batting, credited to deep planning and focus, has been pivotal in the ongoing England series, with twin centuries at Headingley and important runs at Edgbaston. Pant's approach, shaped since childhood and encouraged by his late coach Tarak Sinha, involves minimal conversation at the crease for maximum concentration. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak praised Pant's calculated risk-taking and highlighted his role, alongside captain Shubman Gill, in India's dominant performances, including a 336-run victory at Edgbaston. Off the field, Pant drew attention with a bold Wimbledon prediction, backing Carlos Alcaraz for the title while recognizing Novak Djokovic's strength. As India prepares for the third Test at Lord's, Pant's form and strategic mindset remain central to the team's prospects.
